Podcasts about aymann

Today, I'm thrilled to reconnect with Aymann Ismail, award-winning journalist and the visionary behind the PBS documentary American Muslims: A History Revealed. Beyond the groundbreaking stories from the series, our conversation takes a deeply personal turn. Aymann opens up about his new book, 'Becoming Baba,' which explores his journey of self-discovery, his experiences with dating, and how they've shaped his perspectives on love and identity. We also discuss the values he hopes to instill in his children, weaving together reflections on faith, culture, and what it means to leave a meaningful legacy. We revisit stories from the documentary, including the extraordinary tale of Yarrow Mamout, a Muslim enslaved in the 1700s who became a respected figure in Georgetown. Yarrow's story powerfully reminds us of Islam's long history in America and the contributions of Black Muslims to our shared heritage. Exciting News!! Aymann Ismail's new book, Becoming Baba, is now available for pre-sale! Reserve your copy here.

Many of us grew up with rules or customs around food. For Aymann Ismail, a practicing Muslim, that meant not eating pork. But as he got older, he became curious about why eating pork was a line that even less observant Muslims wouldn't cross. So when a new loophole product hit the market, Aymann was faced with a choice — one that brought up questions of faith, tradition, and whether changing your food habits changes who you are.Check out Aymann Ismail's writing and podcasts, and find Leah Koenig's writing and cookbooks on her website.The Sporkful production team includes Dan Pashman, Emma Morgenstern, Andres O'Hara, Johanna Mayer, Tracey Samuelson, and Jared O'Connell.

There are people who write news, cover current events, and make content…. And then there's Aymann Ismail. Born and raised in Newark, NJ Aymann found his passion for storytelling after spending his school days creating a documentary and winning 1st, 2nd and 3rd place for it. More important than the awards was the topic, a look into the tragic death of a teenage soldier who just had his first child. He lost his life in the so called “War on Terror” and unlike most documentaries at the time on the war it had people who were actually muslim telling the story. From there Aymann ended up making his own education path again in college after his school literally shut down the film program on his first day. He had all kinds of options in his sights to edit, commercials for the biggest companies in the world, boundary pushing music videos or maybe even feature length films! That all changed when he got a job as a journalist covering the underground culture of New York. From there he would create groundbreaking stories on everything from examining being muslim in ways it hadn't ever been before, looking at man hood in today's world, exposing the western journalists bias in favor of israel and not to mention detailing the story behind the store who called the police on George Floyd winning him a Writers Guild Award for Digital News.

Aymann tries to make sense of new polling data that shows men aren’t taking the outbreak of COVID-19 as seriously as women. First he talks to David Vega, a medical student who contracted the virus in early March after attending multiple gatherings with friends and family. Now, David says he should’ve been much more cautious, and he urges other men to learn from his mistakes. Then Aymann talks to Dr. Michael Smith, an internal medicine doctor and chief medical editor of WebMD. He says men have always been lousy at health precautions and now is the time for them to realize the error of their ways.  How has the coronavirus affected you, or a man in your life?
